Eight Things

{My Isis turned 8 today. E-I-G-H-T. With every birthday, she's even more proud to be a year older. Boy, how time flies when you are enjoying life.}

{Not only does she get straight As on her second grade report card, she is the ultimate Mommy's Helper and Daddy's girl, all the same.}

{I have so much fun shopping with and for her, she has her own style, yep even at 8. Her birthday list this year, included a pair of pink shades. She barely took them off this weekend. I think she loves them. ;) This past fall, we had a conversation about not being too matchy-matchy, as in pink top, pink skirt, pink socks and pink shoes. Yes, together.}

{I remember when she was {prematurely} born at 35 weeks. A mere 3 pounds and 15 ounces, she spent 10 days in NICU, and not ONCE needed oxygen. She was a strong little thing, and still is.}

{She has the biggest heart and very often asks Mommy and Daddy if we need anything. Do you want a cold water? Do you need help? It's the cutest thing, you would ever see.}

{And did I mention she reads on a 3rd grade level? In the 2nd grade? Beauty and brains. I remind her how important the latter is every chance I get. ;)}

{We enjoyed our weekend in Baltimore, staying at the hotel was her favorite part. Oh, and seeing the Dolphin show at the National Aquarium, which she thought was boring at first. We had ice cream cake and grilled burgers for dinner tonight to celebrate and we are planning a fancy sleepover this weekend. Just like Fancy Nancy {her favorite} would have.

Move over Willow Smith..Miss. Isis Brielle is too fashionable and grounded. I can't wait to do all these fun things with my niece. Did you take her for a manicure or did you do her nails? They're 8 year old cute :)
